There was an active inquiry from both
millers and shippers in the local market and
sales aggregated considerable amount.
Receipts for the two days were 26S. Gen
orally speaking the grain market opened but
slightly changed from Saturdays closing and
trading at all speculative points was moder-
ate during the morning. The following are
the closing local quotations: No. hard in
store, May Sic, June S1I2c, July 1913, on
track S2I2c; No. Northern, in store, May,
S042c; June, Sic; July, 82ssc; on track,
S1%c; No. 2 Northern, in store, May use;
June 79I2c, July soc, on track soc.
has little if any effect in making prices, that
being determined by quality and the per-
centage of hard in each parcel.

S27sc; 5000 bu June No. l hard, 81 I2c.

Bran and shortsIThe feeling with respect
to these markets is that prices of both have
held up remarkably well and every one is
looking for lower figures. On the other hand
the stuff goes out well at small concessions.
Sales to-day ranged from S10@105O on
track for both kinds. Corn-Market slow
with sales, when made, ranging at 36@36l2c
for good, bright stock. The inquiry is very
small and large quantities could not be sold
even at current figures. CUSTOMERS had
held on heroically for higher prices until
Saturday, when they began to let down. but
even at the decline they move slowly. Sam
pies sell from 27@29l2c, with grade prices
nominal at CSC for No. 2 and 29c for No. 2
white. Mixed Feed and Cornmeal-Feed
S15@15. so for good; fair, S14.50@15 in car
lots Meal about 15c under feed.
Not much demand for the latter.
Hay-Sales were at $500 for fair wild, S100
IL for choice. Flour-The -four trade at this
end of the line is unquestionably dull. There
were contracts out ahead of the late rise in
millers now. Those were on the basis of the
prices of wheat at the time they were entered
into, and some millers at least are buying
wheat to fill the contracts mentioned. There
are few new sales being made, as buyers,
both domestic and foreign, are figuring on
the former basis. Millers cannot buy wheat
now and sell the product at the old basis. So
the trade hangs between the two interests. and
very little fresh business is being provided
for. Patent, sacks to local dealers, 81 25@
